Groupe Renault

Groupe Renault, based in France and operating in the sale, maintenance, and repair of motor vehicles and parts, has outlined significant climate commitments and reported its carbon emissions.

For the year 2025, Groupe Renault reported total emissions of approximately 107.34 billion kg CO2e. This figure is composed of Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 379.1 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of around 141.7 million kg CO2e (or 437.9 million kg CO2e location-based), and substantial Scope 3 emissions amounting to approximately 106.83 billion kg CO2e. Within Scope 3, the use of sold products is the largest contributor, at roughly 80.35 billion kg CO2e, followed by purchased goods and services at approximately 20.00 billion kg CO2e.

In 2024, the company's total emissions were approximately 107.72 billion kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of about 406.4 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of around 289.8 million kg CO2e (or 504.9 million kg CO2e location-based), and Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 107.41 billion kg CO2e.

Groupe Renault has set a long-term goal to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 across all scopes. They also aim to reduce emissions from their sites by 80% between 2019 and 2030 for Scopes 1 and 2. Furthermore, the company is working towards reducing its Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 60% per car produced by 2030, with a 2012 base year, as part of its Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments. Additional SBTi targets include a 41% reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products per vehicle kilometre by 2030, also from a 2010 base year. More recently, Groupe Renault has committed to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 71.71% by 2035 from a 2019 base year, and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 57.01% within the same timeframe. For the long term, they aim for a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 2050 from a 2019 base year. There are also specific near-term commitments, such as aiming for net zero carbon at their ElectriCity sites by 2025, with investments in offsets for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
